"Hello Bandung, long time no see you."
That’s my unspoken Greeting to this city after my last visit almost 6 years ago. I lived in Jakarta for 5 years and a weekend getaway to Bandung was common things for us who live in Jakarta.
My 2016's impression toward Bandung, it is extremely different from many years ago. Today's Bandung is polluted, not as cold as it used to be, and .. crazy traffic jam here and there, almost similar to Jakarta. Why of why, Bandung.. Don't you know, you used to be my favorite Indonesian city, well, maybe because at that time, I was still young and loved shopping. But then, things changed as I get older.

Back then in 2005, My friend and I used to be a foreign student in Singapore. On the weekend, we were so lazy to go back home because nobody who greeted us, alone abroad and we just killed the time around Esplanade waiting for sunrise, sleeping on the roof with a million stars.
And ten years ago, this futuristic architecture from Marina Bay Sands, Garden By the Bay, Art Science Museum, Helix Bridge, Jubilee Bridge and Singapore Flyer, they never exist until 2009 and 2010.

As a third world traveler, we are getting used to an endless insult look to our passport at checkpoint and , we can’t tell lie, it leads us to such a big frustration before we start traveling.
Ignore the generic slogan from first world travelers who always spread ‘Quit your job, and travel the world’ slogan. Excuse me?? It ain't work for us, this immigration would suspect us as illegal immigrant and drag us to interrogation room. We’d even asked for Bank statement for any visa to enter many countries.

The nice thing of being a digital designer, you don't need to hire a Graphic Designer to create your logo and Web for your own biz #DTOT

Of course, I'm not a web developer who creates my website from scratch to completion, yes, before CMS era, I did it. Creating my website from scratch with HTML and uploaded it on Geocities ;)

It's all started last July 2015 when I sent a proposal email to the owner of theholidaze, Derek Freal, to work together for his India Rickshaw Run video project.
I offered him my ideas, to edit his Rickshaw Run videos not just a cut, edit and stitch job, however, by making the film becomes more entertaining with more special effect and storytelling.
